Air Fryer Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
Bone-in chicken thighs air fried until the skin is crisp, then brushed with a sticky honey Dijon glaze for a sweet and tangy finish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs about 2 lb
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Cooking
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with the olive oil and season both sides with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Whisk the honey and Dijon mustard together. Set about half in a separate bowl to serve on the side.
- Place the thighs skin-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes.
- Flip the thighs skin-side up and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Brush the tops with the honey mustard from the cooking bowl and cook for 2 minutes more, until sticky and browned and the thickest part reads at least 165°F (74°C).
- Rest for 5 minutes and serve with the reserved honey mustard.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate per serving, based on 4 servings. Dark meat is tender at 175°F (79°C), and 165°F (74°C) is the safe minimum. Brush on the glaze only in the last 2 minutes so the honey does not burn. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
